BSOD when opening certain Specific apps

cammelspit · 27 May 2016

Hi! I have a relatively new PC I built less than 90 days ago. I have been building PCs and such for ages now so am pretty versed with Windows shenanigans but at this point, I am simply stumped!

ATM it seems every time I open my torrent client (Qbittorrent) I get a BSOD withing a few minutes of opening it. It is predictable too. The error is always a PAGE FAULT I have reinstalled windows on a freshly formatted SSD within the last week to try and curb these problems.

After googling into how to analyze the minidumps, it led me here!

I am the first to admit when I am out of my element here. I am in way over my head trying to understand what the logs say so I am here as a last resort asking for help. I appreciate any insight anyone else can provide and thank you in advance.

Hi cammelspit,

Welcome to the 10forums :)

Please update the drivers of your ASUS network adapter and let me know if that helps :)

Code:

0: kd> lmvm bcmwl63a
Browse full module list
start             end                 module name
fffff800`97360000 fffff800`9808d000   bcmwl63a   (deferred)             
    Image path: \SystemRoot\system32\DRIVERS\bcmwl63a.sys

OK, so for the first time in a while I am now downloading something, I chose a 12GB test torrent, and it has been open for about 10 minutes so far. I had seen a few people randomly, through all my googling, that had driver problems with their network cards and that caused a BSOD. Since I had the latest driver already installed, I decided to just roll back to an older driver and so far *crosses fingers* it seems ok for the moment. I was too chicken to risk yet another BSOD so I waited for the reply here, besides it was after I made this post.

I can't thank you enough for looking into my logs and helping me out! Jeez, I should really learn more about analyzing these logs myself because I think that could really come in handy. Thank you again, so much! You are a life saver!

I am going to test for a few more hours before I mark this as solved but it looks good!

You're welcome, I would've replied sooner but then I couldn't enjoy posting with my new build :)

If you have any question about the logs, I will gladly try to answer them.
